No. This is the free plugin. Thimbleform Pro is a separate add-on purchased via Freemius and installed as its own plugin. ### How do I activate Pro after purchase? Install **Thimbleform Pro**, then open **Thimbleform Account** (or **Thimbleform License**) and activate your Freemius license on this site. ### How many forms can I create? Unlimited on the free plugin. Pro adds builder features (multi-step, quizzes, advanced fields, and more), not extra form slots. ### Does Thimbleform store submissions? Yes. Submissions appear under **Thimbleform Entries**. You can export CSV and print a single entry. ### Does Thimbleform add branding to my public site? No. A “Powered by Thimbleform” link stays off unless you turn it on under **Thimbleform Settings**. ### Where can I read the source? The PHP in this download is the source. CSS and JavaScript are built from the files on GitHub: [github.com/NestForm/thimbleform-free](https://github.com/NestForm/thimbleform-free). From that project, `npm run build` rebuilds the assets. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e1cd00684fafd038ec56d9390442463fb0bb511a29843fdc67cb6a372268b589? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Best Forms Plugin EVER](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-forms-plugin-ever-6/)󠁿 [cellltux](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cellltux/) Octubre 7, 2026 This is the best form plugin I’ve ever used. There’s a lot of free functionality that’s missing in other plugins. The functionality for transferring and importing/ exporting forms, as well as customizing and configuring them, is very convenient and simple.
